Often invisible to the naked eye, biological soil residues left behind by insuffcient cleaning can shield bacterial spores from sterilization processes, and become a breeding ground for pathogens.

Cleaning throroughly to completely remove these residues is required before high-level disinfection or sterilization can begin. Verifying that adequate cleanding has taken place can be a daunting task, expecially with complex instruments, such as flexible endoscopes.

As with sterilization, it's important to monnitor the performance of your washer-disinfector during each wash cycle. The WD-Chex Washer-Disinfector Monitor provides a challenge to your washer-disinfector without introducing any biological derivatives into your machine. The synthetic soil completely disappears from the strip after a successful cycle.

The new Once-A-Day Ecos Bowie & Dick test pack will detect sterilizer malfunctions including: presence of residual air in sterilizer chamber due to vacuum pump malfunctions, leaks and poor steam quality; low temperature/pressure conditions and wet steam. The ink changes color from blue to pink under adequate sterilization conditions and the color will not revert even if test end-point was not reached. For use in cycles run between 134oC-137oC with 3.5 minute exposure.

The Once-A-Day EcosTM test pack is a Class 2 sterilization indicator according to ISO 11140-1, 2014 and it complies with performance requirements of the ISO 11140-4:2007 standard for Bowie Dick tests.
